Your Mission Report: November 2026
Dear partners in the Harvest for Christ Foundation Inc Ministries:
As we prepare to gather around our Thanksgiving tables, my heart is full of gratitude for you. Your prayers and faithful support are among God’s greatest gifts to this ministry, and I thank Him for you.
For more than 132 years, Chosen People Ministries has existed to pray for, evangelize, disciple, and serve the Jewish people, and to help others do the same. Because Jewish people around the world still need to hear the good news of the Messiah, Jesus, that calling remains as urgent today as ever.
And through your generosity, you are reaching one of the most unreached people groups in the world with the hope only Yeshua (Jesus) can give.
This month, I am excited to share three encouraging glimpses of the impact you are making, from a quiet conversation in Japan to war-torn cities in Ukraine to homes of families in Israel.
In Japan: you are bringing hope to a heart carrying deep wounds.
On October 7, 2023, Yael’s (name changed) life changed forever.
The young Israeli woman survived the Hamas massacre by hiding in a bomb shelter for three days until the Israel Defense Forces rescued her. But she did not escape unscathed. One of her closest friends was killed in the attack, and the trauma has stayed with her ever since.
Before October 7, Yael did not believe in God. But after surviving that tragedy, she found herself wrestling with life’s deepest questions. Why did this happen? Is there a God? And if so, where was He?
When Yeal met our team in Japan, they made time to listen. They heard her story, prayed with her, and gently shared the hope in Yeshua, the promised Messiah. He understands the depth of human suffering, because He Himself suffered for us. And today, He offers forgiveness, peace, and through His resurrection, the hope of eternal life.
Yeah gladly accepted a Hebrew Bible containing both the Old and New Testaments, and she shared a sincere desire to begin reading the Scriptures herself.
In Ukraine: you are shining the gospel in the middle of war.
Ukraine is now in its fifth year oof war. More than one million men have been killed and more than two million wounded. Over 7.5 million people have fled the country, and the economy has been devastated. Every day and night, missiles and drones strike.
Yet in the middle of so much darkness, the light of the gospel is shinning.
The believers in our Messianic congregations remain faithful and courageous. They are not only standing strong through incredibly hard circumstances, they are also helping and encouraging others.
Together, they continue to proclaim the name of Messiah Yeshua, especially to Jewish people and also to Gentiles (Roman 1:16).
Evangelistic outreach continues among youth, children, and the elderly in every congregation. And one ministry is especially important in these days of war: caring for wounded soldiers and those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder stress disorder in hospitals.
God is brining people to Himself. In the fifteen Messianic congregations Chosen People Ministries is helping, more than forty people have come to faith in Yeshua in 2026 alone.
Please pray for these new believers as they grow in faith, and for the congregations who continue to serve so faithfully in the midst of war.
In Israel: you are opening doors through simple acts of love.
For our team in Israel, this summer was filled with opportunities to share God’s love.
Through children’s and youth camps, many young people heard the gospel – some for the very first time! Seeds of God’s Word were planted in their hearts, and new relationships were built with their families.
Now as the new school year begins, the team is distributing 200 backpacks filled with school supplies to families in need.
It may seems like a small gift. But these practical expressions of love often become the beginning of meaningful relationships, opening the door for our team to pray with families, visit their homes, and share the hope we have in Yeshua.
And the fruit is real. Last year, this same outreach brought more than ten families into local congregations, where they came to faith in the Lord. Today, they continue to be active members of their congregations.
Please pray that the seeds planted at this summer’s camps will continue to grow and bear fruit, and that the Lord will prepare the hearts of every family who receives a backpack this fall.
(Chosen People Ministries is driven by a desire to see people coming to faith, especially the Jewish people. the apostle Paul wrote, “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ” (roams 10:17). Please help us continue to proclaim the Word by making a generous donation today.)
